It's just simply far more logical to order something from very far away that you've never seen and then wait for said thing to come from very far away in a couple of days in a box, you just can't beat the simplicity of that.
I ordered a kindle for my wife on a Sunday evening from Amazon (while finishing cooking my dinner)
It was delivered by a nice Amazonian just over an hour later (I was just washing up after dinner)
And the delivery was Free.
Beat that "shops" 😛

So Hammy - 1pm is fast approaching - have you got the items you so desperately needed from another retailer?
And how much was the carriage!? 😀
Their courier delivered to site about 11:30 - delivery was free.
Like I said before "for the hard of reading"...
I HAVE Prime
I caught it BEFORE ordering
I KNOW there is a £4.99 express delivery charge Jamie.
I also placed the order through the App like your screenshot (which makes no mention of the additional charges for each item)
What the "rant" is about is Amazon and their policy of charging the £4.99 for EACH ITEM in the order when you choose express delivery.
That is a total pisstake.
There is not another retailer I have ever used from CRC, Wiggle, Currys, etc that when you choose to pay extra for a faster delivery service charge you that amount for each item in your order added together!
Top tip: order every item seperately to make sure get your money's worth
Ordered 3 items, came too late, all in same box. Now want to return - 3.99 per item. Eh?.

Amazon are utter asshats. I refuse to spend anything with them.
Their dismay is palpable.

¿Qué? Is confused.

That's just how the system calculates it. A mistake.
You don't have to use their courier. You can't post yourself.
Countzero - I hear you, but I'm not alone, sadly there aren't enough of us, but that won't change my approach.
They are shitbags.
I only came here to say...
Amazon; bunch of pirates.

They're just kids leave them alone.

Huh? Even I can see that says £4.49[b]/item[/b]
Odd.

If you need multiple items at the last minute, by a specified time, they've got you over a barrel.
It's pretty clear. It's pretty annoying. This product (amusingly from Amazon, next day priority delivery available) could help you avoid such issues in the future.

Amazon offer a lot of delivery options. To be fair it probably is a significant extra work for their warehouses to get multiple different items to you guaranteed before 1pm.
You usually have the option when ordering to group items into as few deliveries as possible to pay less postage, or dispatch asap and pay for each.

bunch of duffers.
I've sent you a telegram about that.
